Disappearance (2017) User Reviews

Compelling

[Dar Star · 8/10 · 30 May 2020]

Like most Iranian movies, the ending is murky, but the film draws you into the plight of this young couple and remains interesting throughout. Basically it is a commentary on how a young adult, esp a female, must work around the system to get the medical attention she needs. Very well done.

Note: The title has nothing to do with the entire film practically.

Why did she need surgery?

I'm not entirely sure why she needed surgery. I like the first doctor finally talked to her privately.

Brilliantly executed medical and relationship nightmare

[baharuka · 9/10 · 10 June 2020]

You start driving through the empty streets of Iran and walking the hospitals corridors with a couple who did the "unthinkable" around midnight: They had sex outside of marriage and encountered a medical problem because of it. You pay a small visit to the residence and party culture, observe the striking difference between different generations, classes, and mentalities, and have an effective peak into the troubled couple's relationship. Very good acting and directing. As a person who comes from a similar culture and has had many medical emergencies, I can also say the movie is eerily realistic. It doesn't bore and has a good length. I'd recommend.
